The present work demonstrates the application of solution adaptive grids to three low Reynolds number cases, flow in a circular pipe, flow in a channel with a sudden expansion and flow in a lid-driven cavity. A number of refinement variabies are selected and comparisons are made between the results of the differing refinement variabies. The results from the test cases are compared with experimental as well as computational results from fixed grid cases. The use of solution adaptive grid is seen to yield good results when compared with experimental values, and computing time is seen to be reduced compared with fixed grid computations.
